# 8 HER PAINTED HERO 2/1
# 3 JESS ABOUT MIDNIGHT 6/1
# 1 MASTER OF THE SKY 7/2
HER PAINTED HERO looks very good to best this field. Hunt has her trained well to break rapidly out of the starting gate. Should best this group here, showing competitive figs of late. Has run admirably when racing a short race. JESS ABOUT MIDNIGHT - Suarezricardo will probably be able to get this colt to break out quickly in here. His chances to score are much better today facing this less demanding lot. MASTER OF THE SKY - Has to be carefully examined here on the basis of the figures in the speed department alone. Has to be carefully examined based on the decent speed fig garnered in the last contest.

#3 LUCKY TIGER (ML=7/2)
#4 PARKER'S BEHR CAT (ML=9/2)
LUCKY TIGER - Looking at today's class rating, this pony is meeting an easier bunch than last out at Emerald Downs. PARKER'S BEHR CAT - This rider and handler have a favorable return on investment when they team up. This horse's last race was out at Emerald Downs in a race with a class rating of 82. Dropping considerably in class figure this time puts him in a solid position in this field.
Vulnerable Contenders: #6 COMMAND AUTHORITY (ML=2/1), #1 SOLAR HEAT (ML=3/1), #2 SILVER CHROME (ML=6/1),
COMMAND AUTHORITY - This vulnerable equine will likely be near the back of the pack as this group crosses the finish line. SOLAR HEAT - If he goes off anywhere near the oddsmaker's morning line of 3/1, I'll have to pass. SILVER CHROME - Hard to put any cash on this gelding on the win end. Likes to finish in the money though. Won't be easy for this horse to beat this group off of that last speed figure. Unlikely to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's Equibase class figure, so put him on the possibly overvalued equines list.

#6 STARSHIP REINA (ML=5/1)
#7 BEAUTYOFADAY (ML=4/1)
STARSHIP REINA - As long as Figueroa keeps this horse off the pace, I have to believe this one could be a huge winner. BEAUTYOFADAY - This filly is in exceptional physical condition right now. Ended up second in the last race and comes back rapidly. You have to really like that recent race speed figure, 77, which is the highest last race fig of this field.
Vulnerable Contenders: #4 RORAIMA DOS (ML=3/1), #5 FAME GALORE (ML=7/2), #8 OVERDRIVEN CAT (ML=9/2),
RORAIMA DOS - Never really did much at all in the last race on July 13th. Hard to bet on in today's race. Unlikely that the speed rating she registered on Jul 13th will be enough in this affair. FAME GALORE - I'd like to see more conducive recent outings with morning line of 7/2. OVERDRIVEN CAT - Recent lessening speed figs of 76/71/48 give an indication that this horse may be going off form. Don't believe this questionable contender will make a winning move in today's race. That last speed rating was mediocre when compared with today's class rating.

I like PRECIOUS STONE here. With a formidable 59 average speed figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's competition. With a decent 59 Equibase Speed Figure last time out, will surely be a factor in this affair. Is difficult not to look at based on Equibase speed figs which have been respectable - 55 avg - of late. ONESPECIALPYC - The odds might be right on this one. Likely to see a strong performance with the class drop. DIANE DYNAMITE - Cunningham has her trained admirably to break sharply out of the gate. Must be given a shot based on the quite good speed figure earned in the last contest.

The New York Yankees have fallen off a bit in the race for first place in the American League East while the Boston Red Sox were busy ripping off an eight-game winning streak. The Red Sox will try to make it nine in a row and increase their lead in the East to 5 1/2 games when they visit the Yankees for the opener of a three-game showdown on Friday.
Boston leads the AL with a 3.63 team ERA and watched its staff dominate of late, with three or fewer runs allowed in each of the last five games. "We've continued to pitch consistently, and that will be the key for us," Red Sox manager John Farrell told reporters after an 8-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. "The way that our starters are now stringing some games together, the run the bullpen has been on for really all year, and more so currently. We set the tone from the mound, and we're going to have to continue to do that as we go into this next series." Trying to continue that run of strong pitching on Friday will be left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, who opposes New York newcomer Jaime Garcia. The Yankees dropped six of their last nine games to fall 4 1/2 behind the Red Sox and were shut out 4-0 on Thursday at Toronto.
TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, NESN (Boston), YES (New York)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH Eduardo Rodriguez (4-3, 4.08 ERA) vs. Yankees LH Jaime Garcia (5-8, 4.49)
Rodriguez recorded his first quality start in four chances since coming off the disabled list last Friday, when he held the Chicago White Sox to two runs and four hits in six innings. The 24-year-old Venezuelan did not factor in the decision in that turn and is looking for his first win since May 26. Rodriguez is seeing New York for the first time this season and is 4-1 with a 2.66 ERA in seven career starts versus the Yankees.
Garcia is getting his introduction to the rivalry and suffered the loss in his New York debut last Friday, when he was ripped for six runs - five earned - on five hits and four walks in 4 2/3 innings at Cleveland. The 31-year-old is making his third AL start after beginning the season in Atlanta and getting traded to Minnesota before moving over to the Yankees. Garcia began his career with the St. Louis Cardinals but was hurt when they played Boston in the 2013 World Series and is seeing the Red Sox for the first time.
WALK-OFFS
1. Red Sox OF Andrew Benintendi is 8-for-14 with five runs scored in the last four games.
2. New York All-Star RF Aaron Judge recorded at least one strikeout in each of the last 27 games.

The San Francisco Giants and Washington Nationals renew acquaintances on Friday for the first time since reliever Hunter Strickland drilled superstar Bryce Harper in the hip with a 98 mph fastball that sparked a brawl in late May. While both insist that they've moved on from the skirmish, there's a chance the two will square off in a more traditional sense in Friday's opener of the three-game series at Nationals Park.
Harper ripped an RBI double in Thursday's 3-2 victory over Miami, giving Washington four wins in its last five games and pushing its lead in the National League East to a staggering season-high 15 games over the second-place Marlins. The 2015 NL MVP is 10-for-28 with two homers, seven RBIs and six runs scored in his last seven contests, but went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts during Washington's three-game sweep of San Francisco. Jarrett Parker didn't play in that series, but enters Friday's tilt with eight RBIs during his six-game hitting streak. The 28-year-old Virginia native had a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning on Wednesday, leading the Giants to their fourth win in five outings with a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, NBCSN Bay Area (San Francisco), MASN (Washington)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Chris Stratton (0-2, 6.63 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Edwin Jackson (2-2, 4.34)
Stratton was reinstated from the disabled list and notched his second straight no-decision while making his second career major league start on Saturday against Arizona. The 26-year-old, who replaced veteran Matt Cain in the rotation, allowed three runs on five hits in as many innings. Stratton saw his pitch count elevate due in large part to the four walks he surrendered, bringing his total to 10 in his last three outings.
Jackson got the nod on Saturday in place of Gio Gonzalez (paternity list), overcoming a four-run first inning to work four more clean frames in a 7-4 setback at the Chicago Cubs. "I couldn’t get the ball down in the first inning. I had a couple balls hit that were up in the zone," the 33-year-old said. Jackson fell to 2-2 with a 3.75 ERA in his last four starts.
WALK-OFFS
1. Washington RHP Ryan Madson has been downright impressive since being acquired from Oakland, scattering four hits and recording 12 strikeouts over eight scoreless innings.
2. San Francisco relievers have surrendered two earned runs in their last 22 2/3 innings.
3. Seventeen of Nationals CF Brian Goodwin's 24 hits since July 17 have gone for extra bases.

In the midst of one of their worst offensive stretches of the season, the New York Mets had no problem finding their groove against a team they have dominated over the better part of the last three seasons. The Mets hope to maintain their extended success against the Phillies on Friday when they play the second of a four-game set in Philadelphia.
New York entered Thursday averaging 2.4 runs in the losses while going 3-10 over its previous 13 contests, but the Mets belted four home runs and matched their offensive output from the last five games combined in a 10-0 rout in the opener. In doing so, New York improved to 33-15 against its National League East rival since the start of the 2015 season and has clubbed 90 homers to Philadelphia's 37 over that same stretch. Phillies top prospect Rhys Hoskins drew a walk in two official at-bats in his major-league debut, but it was one of the few bright spots for the team with the worst record in the majors (42-70), which had won three straight following a five-game losing streak. The opener was not kind to either starting pitcher, however, as Philadelphia's Vince Velasquez left the game after the first inning because of numbness in his right middle finger, while New York's Jacob deGrom exited in the seventh with a bruised right triceps after he was hit by a line drive.
TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), CSN Philadelphia
PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Seth Lugo (5-3, 4.55 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Nick Pivetta (4-7, 5.89)
Lugo continued to struggle with the long ball Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, giving up two homers for the third straight outing among the three runs and four hits he allowed over 5 2/3 innings. Despite sporting a 4-2 road record, the 27-year-old Centenary product has been much less effective at home (3.51 ERA, .229 batting average against) than outside of New York (5.26, .309). Lugo settled for a no-decision in his only start against Philadelphia last September, yielding three runs in five frames.
Pivetta finished July with a strong showing in a home win against Atlanta, but he was pummeled for eight runs (six earned) on seven hits across only 2 2/3 innings in Saturday's loss at Colorado. The British Columbia native has felt much more comfortable at home, posting a 3.89 ERA and .223 batting average against as opposed to 7.47 ERA and .298 average on the road. Pivetta baffled the Mets in New York on July 2, however, giving up only one hit - a solo shot to T.J. Rivera - over seven innings to get the win.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Mets have hit 51 home runs in their last 23 games in Philadelphia.
2. Thursday's setback marked the end of Philadelphia's five-game winning streak at home and eight-game winning streak against division rivals, the latter of which was the team's longest since 2010.
3. New York 3B Wilmer Flores homered for the second straight game Thursday and has clubbed half (seven) of his season total of 14 over his last 17 contests.

GAME: Pittsburgh Pirates (57-58) at Toronto Blue Jays (54-60)
DATE/TIME: Friday, August 11 - 7:07 PM EST
WHERE: Rogers Centre, Toronto, Ontario
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A
Preview: Pirates at Blue Jays
Gracenote
Aug 11, 2017
The Pittsburgh Pirates had little trouble in their first four interleague contests this week and will try to continue the trend when they visit the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday in the opener of three-game interleague set. The Pirates are trying to track down the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central and are getting some help from teams near the bottom of the standings in the AL.
Pittsburgh took three of four from the Detroit Tigers to draw within one game of .500 (57-58) and within three games of the first-place Cubs in the tightly-packed NL Central. The Pirates are still trying to find some consistency on offense and pounded out 13 hits in a 7-5 win over the Tigers on Thursday after managing three hits in a 10-0 setback on Wednesday. The Blue Jays are still at the bottom of the AL East standings but are doing their best to knock others out of contention and took two of three from the New York Yankees this week to throw some chaos into the top of their own division. Toronto will try to keep rolling behind right-hander Marcus Stroman on Friday while the Pirates counter with Jameson Taillon.
TV: 7:07 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh, Sportsnet (Toronto)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Jameson Taillon (6-5, 4.60 ERA) vs. Blue Jays RH Marcus Stroman (10-5, 3.17)
Taillon turned a corner in his last start, when he struck out eight in 6 1/3 innings while allowing two runs and five hits. The 25-year-old could not make it through four innings in either of his previous two turns while surrendering a total of 18 runs - 17 earned - and 20 hits in 6 2/3 frames. Taillon is facing Toronto for the first time in his career and is 2-1 with a 1.93 ERA in five career interleague starts.
Stroman surrendered 11 hits at Houston on Sunday but limited the damage to two earned runs in 6 2/3 innings without factoring in the decision. The Duke product was not a part of the decision in four of his last five starts despite surrendering three or fewer runs in each of the no decisions. Stroman appeared once in relief previously against Pittsburgh and is 8-1 with a 2.38 ERA in 14 career interleague games - 11 starts.
WALK-OFFS
1. Blue Jays SS Troy Tulowitzki (ankle) will miss the rest of the regular season but is expected to be ready for spring training.
2. Pittsburgh 1B Josh Bell is 4-for-7 with three extra-base hits in the last two games.
3. Toronto DH Kendrys Morales (illness) was scratched from Thursday's lineup and is day-to-day.

Aug 11, 2017
The Detroit Tigers had a chance to push one team on the brink of contention this week out of the race but ended up dropping three of four to the National League Central-hopeful Pittsburgh Pirates. The Tigers get another chance to throw a wrench into the race - this time in their own division - when they host the Minnesota Twins for the opener of a three-game series on Friday.
Detroit, which dropped five of its last six games, at least started hitting the ball at home this week while earning a 10-0 win on Wednesday before a 7-5 loss on Thursday as Nick Castellanos broke out of a slump. The third baseman went 2-for-25 in seven games before breaking out for a combined 5-for-9 with seven RBIs in the last two contests. Castellanos is just 3-for-25 with one RBI in his career against Twins right-hander Kyle Gibson, who takes the mound on Friday opposite Tigers veteran Anibal Sanchez. Minnesota is doing some strong work with the bats of late as well and scored at least six runs in three of the last five games - all wins - while jumping back above .500 (57-56) and crawling within 3 1/2 games of the first-place Cleveland Indians in the American League Central.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Kyle Gibson (6-9, 6.03 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Anibal Sanchez (3-2, 6.62)
Gibson earned a demotion in July but made his return on Saturday and suffered a loss while yielding three runs and seven hits over 5 1/3 innings against Texas. The Missouri product is allowing opponents a .307 batting average while surrendering 17 home runs in 100 innings. Gibson's last win came against Detroit on July 22, when he allowed three runs on five hits and three walks across 7 1/3 innings.
Sanchez traded wins and losses in his last four starts and was ripped for eight runs on 10 hits over three innings to suffer a loss at Baltimore on Sunday. The Venezuela native held the New York Yankees to two runs over 6 2/3 innings on Aug. 1, but could not complete four innings against Kansas City on July 26. Sanchez earned the win at Minnesota on July 21, when he limited the Twins to three runs on six hits in 5 2/3 frames.
WALK-OFFS
1. Tigers SS Jose Iglesias (wrist) is 0-for-6 with a pair of strikeouts in two games since coming back from a three-game absence.
2. Minnesota SS Jorge Polanco is 14-for-28 during an eight-game hitting streak - 10-for-15 in the last four.
3. Detroit OF Mikie Mahtook recorded multiple hits in each of his last three games and five of his last six.

Aug 11, 2017
Mired in an ugly offensive slump, the Tampa Bay Rays put an end to a pair of painfully inept streaks in the opener of a four-game series against the Cleveland Indians. The Rays scored as many runs in Thursday's 4-1 win as they had in their previous five games combined and hope to carry the momentum into the second of the four-game set on Friday night.
Corey Dickerson snapped an 0-for-21 drought in dramatic fashion, clubbing a tiebreaking three-run homer in the eighth inning Thursday to pull Tampa Bay within 2 1/2 games of the New York Yankees for the top wild card. Prior to Dickerson's heroics, Logan Morrison had an RBI single, which was more noteworthy because it ended the Rays' 0-for-31 nightmare with runners in scoring position. Cleveland has lost four of five after dropping the opener of an 11-game road trip and leads Minnesota by 3 1/2 games atop the American League Central. Right fielder Jay Bruce, acquired in a trade with the New York Mets on Wednesday, did not arrive on time to be in the starting lineup but popped out as a pinch hitter in his debut for the Indians.
TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, STO (Cleveland), FSN Sun (Tampa Bay)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Carlos Carrasco (10-5, 4.06 ERA) vs. Rays RH Jake Faria (5-2, 2.81)
Carrasco remained winless since the All-Star break after giving up five runs over 5 2/3 innings against the New York Yankees last time out -- the third time in five starts he has allowed five runs. The Venezuelan lasted only 1 2/3 innings in his previous start at Boston but he has been solid overall on the road with a 7-2 record and 3.44 ERA. Evan Longoria is only 3-for-21 against Carrasco.
Faria was a hard-luck loser in a 2-0 setback versus Milwaukee in his last start, but he permitted only one run and four hits while matching his season high with nine strikeouts over six innings. It marked the sixth time in 11 career starts that Faria allowed just one run. He has his shortest outing in his previous turn at the Yankees, but still racked up eight strikeouts in his four-inning stint.
WALK-OFFS
1. Dickerson was hitless in his last 34 at-bats at home before delivering his go-ahead homer.
2. Indians 2B Jason Kipnis (hamstring tightness) left Thursday's game. He went on the disabled list before the All-Star break with the same injury.
3. Rays RHP Tommy Hunter has not allowed a run in 18 of his last 19 appearances.

The Rays scored as many runs in Thursday's 4-1 win as they had in their previous five games combined and hope to carry the momentum into the second of the four-game set on Friday night.
Corey Dickerson snapped an 0-for-21 drought in dramatic fashion, clubbing a tiebreaking three-run homer in the eighth inning Thursday to pull Tampa Bay within 2 1/2 games of the New York Yankees for the top wild card. Prior to Dickerson's heroics, Logan Morrison had an RBI single, which was more noteworthy because it ended the Rays' 0-for-31 nightmare with runners in scoring position. Cleveland has lost four of five after dropping the opener of an 11-game road trip and leads Minnesota by 3 1/2 games atop the American League Central. Right fielder Jay Bruce, acquired in a trade with the New York Mets on Wednesday, did not arrive on time to be in the starting lineup but popped out as a pinch hitter in his debut for the Indians.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Carlos Carrasco (10-5, 4.06 ERA) vs. Rays RH Jake Faria (5-2, 2.81)
Carrasco remained winless since the All-Star break after giving up five runs over 5 2/3 innings against the New York Yankees last time out -- the third time in five starts he has allowed five runs. The Venezuelan lasted only 1 2/3 innings in his previous start at Boston but he has been solid overall on the road with a 7-2 record and 3.44 ERA. Evan Longoria is only 3-for-21 against Carrasco.
Faria was a hard-luck loser in a 2-0 setback versus Milwaukee in his last start, but he permitted only one run and four hits while matching his season high with nine strikeouts over six innings. It marked the sixth time in 11 career starts that Faria allowed just one run. He has his shortest outing in his previous turn at the Yankees, but still racked up eight strikeouts in his four-inning stint.
WALK-OFFS
1. Dickerson was hitless in his last 34 at-bats at home before delivering his go-ahead homer.
2. Indians 2B Jason Kipnis (hamstring tightness) left Thursday's game. He went on the disabled list before the All-Star break with the same injury.
3. Rays RHP Tommy Hunter has not allowed a run in 18 of his last 19 appearances.
PREDICTION: Rays 3, Indians 2
